Happy November, friends!
Not long ago, someone asked me where our brick-and-mortar location was. They had just finished reading the magazine and said,
“It’s so beautiful, I assumed there had to be a physical space.”
That moment made me smile, because that’s exactly the energy we hope you feel when you open these pages: like you’ve stepped into a place that’s warm, real, and alive with women supporting women.
And truthfully, that is the dream. To one day have a dedicated space where women can gather, shop, sip coffee, connect, and advocate for one another in person.
But in so many ways, that dream is already here. Every monthly event, support group, and in-person meetup we host is its own version of that space; a living, breathing community where women show up for one another with honesty, humor, and care.
This issue captures that spirit beautifully. It’s filled with women doing meaningful things in ordinary moments: Zoe Sherwin turning neighborly kindness into financial empowerment, Blakely Kresl reminding us how grannycore hobbies can nourish the brain and soul, and Laura Lange guiding us through the “sober curious” movement with self-awareness and grace.
You’ll also find stories that invite you to pause and reflect, from Sara Curtin’s meditation on gratitude that holds both light and shadow, to Lovey Kaur’s exploration of how AI is reshaping our emotional lives. And through it all, the heartbeat of MDW Cares runs steady, with our “SNAP to It” campaign and local therapists offering care that’s compassionate and stigma-free.
Every story, recipe, product, and reflection we share is meant to feel like a small exhale, a moment of connection, beauty, and clarity.
So whether you’re here for inspiration, resources, fashion, or simply a reason to breathe a little deeper, I hope these pages remind you that care, for yourself and others, can be both powerful, uplifting, and tender.
